9. Mega Millions Lottery
Odds – 1:24
Mega Millions is another American jackpot which used to be known as The Big Game.

8. Irish Lotto
Odds – 1:13
Do you reckon you have the luck of the Irish? Then it might be time to start playing the Irish Lotto, which comes in at #8 on our list and has great odds at 1:13. The current prize money stands at just under €3,500,000 so its definitely worth buying a ticket! Even if you don't become a winner, you can always look out for a rainbow and try to find that elusive pot of gold…
7. Austria Lotto
Odds – 1:12
The Austrian lotto is another competition run by a small European country which offers big, big prizes. You've got better jackpot odds than nearly anywhere else on the continent at 1:12, so why not travel to the land of Mozart and Freud to try your luck? The prize money comes in at €1 million, and there's also a special double jackpot game you can play too. Nice!
6. Spanish Lotto
Odds – 1:10
The Spanish national lottery is nicknamed ‘El Gordo' (the Big One), an appropriate title since the competition is currently offering over €2,380,000,000 worth of prizes! It would be silly not to buy a ticket and try your luck at this one – there's also a draw you can enter which offers a jackpot of 600,000 euros too, just in case you don't win anything with El Gordo.
5. UK National Lottery
Odds – 1:9.3
The National Lottery UK is a great draw for anyone who dreams of winning big and leaving their old life behind. Why? In 2017, the lottery turned a grand total of 358 people into millionaires! That's an amazing stat and one that will have people all over the country rushing to buy a ticket (and raising those odds…oops).
4. Polish Mini Lotto
Odds – 1:8.5
OK, so there's a slight catch with this one! Although the Polish Mini Lotto offers sensational jackpot odds, this means that it also provides smaller prizes, usually in the thousands rather than the millions.
